KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE.
2. INFORMATION
Important Information
• If your blood glucose results are lower or higher than usual, and you do not have any
symptoms of illness, first repeat the test.
• If you have symptoms or continue to get results which are higher or lower than usual,
follow the treatment advice of your healthcare professional.
• Use only fresh capillary whole blood samples to test your blood glucose. Using other sub-
stances will lead to incorrect results.
• If you are experiencing symptoms that are inconsistent with your test results and you
have followed all the instructions given in this owner's manual, contact your healthcare
professional.
Contrindications
The blood glucose measurement performed from a capillary blood sample can be unreli-
able in people with a reduced peripheral blood circulation:
• Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause readings which are lower than ac-
tual values. If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult a healthcare
professional immediately.
• Hyperglycemia accompanied by hyperosmolarity may have a negative effect on the glu-
cose measurements in the peripheral blood.
• Severely hypotensive individuals or patients in shock may also affect the glucose mea-
surements in the peripheral blood. Please consult the healthcare professional before use
• Patients suffering from decompensated heart failure NYHA Class IV or peripheral arterial
occlusive disease should also consult a healthcare professional before use this device.
• The measurement unit used for indicating the concentration of blood or plasma glucose
can either have a weight dimension (mg/dL) or a molarity (mmol/L). The approximate cal-
culation rule for conversion of mg/dL in mmol/L is:
mg/dL
mmol/L
